Chapter 20 Leader of Tongtian Cult
After all, Ao Bing is not a disciple of Jie Cult. Shi Ji can bring him into the main hall, which is considered to be the most benevolent and righteous.
So, after entering the main hall, the two separated. Shi Ji went alone to the area where the Jie Jiao disciples were, which was closer to the saint.
Ao Bing found an empty seat in the surrounding corner and sat down, far away from the saint.
From the position of everyone in the temple, you can see their status in Jiejiao. The closer you are to the saint, the higher your status. On the contrary, the further away from the saint, the lower the status.
"The ones closest to the saint are the true disciples, followed by the outer disciples, then the ordinary disciples, and finally the casual cultivators who come to listen to the sermon."
Ao Bing is no stranger to Jie Jiao, because Jie Jie The teaching has never hidden its internal information. As long as you are willing, you can easily collect it.
According to the information collected by Ao Bing, Jie Jiao disciples are divided into three levels. From high to low, they are true disciples, outer disciples, and Jie Jiao disciples.
There are only four true disciples, Taoist Duobao, Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, and Holy Mother of Wudang. They all have the true inheritance of the saint, and their strength is unfathomable.
There are more outer disciples, headed by the brothers and sisters Zhao Gongming and Sanxiao, as well as the Seven Immortals, Ten Heavenly Lords, Four Saints of Kowloon Island, Shiji Luo Xuan, Lu Yue and others, all of whom are outer disciples. That adds up to about a few hundred people.
Although they were not able to receive true teachings, they were highly valued by the saints and were given treasures by the teachings. All of them had profound cultivation.
There are more ordinary disciples, tens of thousands of them, and this number is still growing.
Here we have to mention the definition of disciples of Jiejiao. There are only two points. One is to listen to the sermons of the leader of Tongtian Cult, and the other is to abide by the rules of Jiejiao. As long as you can do these two things, you can be said to be a disciple of Jie Jiao.
The conditions for joining the religion are so simple, how can there not be many disciples of Jiejiao? It can be said that as long as Master Tongtian keeps preaching, there will only be more and more disciples of Jiejiao.
Like the group of monks outside the temple listening to the sermon, they are the reserves of the disciples!
However, compared to the true disciples and outer disciples, although there are more disciples, they are not disciples.
Therefore, the saint does not need to teach them, he only needs to preach to them once every once in a while and focus on answering their doubts.
Yes, disciples are not considered disciples.
Not only can they not be taught the true teachings of saints like true disciples. Nor can one receive the teachings and treasures from saints like the outer disciples do; nor can one take the initiative to ask the saints for advice, and can only passively wait for the saints to ask.
Moreover, if the disciples have grudges with others, as long as they don't come to their door, even if they are killed outside, the leader of Tongtian Cult will not care.
What is a disciple? To put it bluntly, the leader of Tongtian Cult took them in and provided them with a shelter because he saw them as pitiful.
As long as they do not leave Jin'ao Island, Lord Tongtian will keep them safe. But if they leave Jin'ao Island, their life and death will be their own responsibility, and it has nothing to do with him.
After entering Jin'ao Island, Jiejiao's disciples can still call Master Tongtian "teacher" and get his protection. But after leaving Jin'ao Island, everyone is a stranger.
In such a relationship, expecting Tongtian Cult Leader to stand up for it, isn’t this a dream?
……
Ever since he decided to join the Jie Jiao, Ao Bing had never thought about becoming a true disciple. His goal had always been clear, which was to first get involved with the Jie Jiao.
It doesn’t matter whether he becomes a disciple of Jie Jiao or an outside disciple, as long as he can be related to Jie Jiao.
Because only in this way, the hatred between him and Master Taiyi will rise from a personal grudge to a dispute between two religions, and will no longer involve the Dragon Palace.
Ao Bing has now achieved his goal of getting involved with Jie Jiao. Thanks to Shi Ji who brought him into the hall, he could call himself a disciple of Jie Jiao after the Master Tongtian finished his sermon.
After that, it is time to find a way to become the master of Tongtian Cult. The leader of Tongtian Cult has always been generous. As long as the apprenticeship is successful, he will definitely give the innate spiritual treasure as the apprenticeship ceremony.
For Ao Bing, he had already joined the Jiejiao religion anyway, and there was no turning back, so he would definitely try his best to seek benefits for himself.
Otherwise, if you join Jiejiao but get no benefits, what is the difference between that and cannon fodder?
……
Cang! clang! Bang...
After waiting for about two or three days, I heard a melodious sound of bells. Immediately, the figure of Tongtian Cult Leader suddenly appeared on the cloud bed in front of everyone.
This is a young Taoist, in his twenties, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, elegant and handsome, wearing a lotus crown on his head, a green Taoist robe, and an ancient green sword at his waist.
Among the three Taoist masters of the Qing Dynasty, Taiqing Sage is the image of an old man, Yuanshi Tianzun is a middle-aged man with a majestic face, but Tongtian Sage is the image of a young man.
“I’ve seen the teacher!”
Seeing the appearance of the Tongtian Cult Leader, everyone in the hall stood up and saluted at the same time. "Hmm!"
Leader Tongtian nodded as a return gift. Then, I saw his eyes sweeping over everyone in the hall.
Every time he preaches, new faces will appear. If they have average qualifications, they will be swept away.
If the talent is amazing, he will keep it in mind silently, and then decide whether to accept him as a disciple based on his future performance.
This is how he recruited the hundreds of outer disciples from Jie Jiao.
However, this method was useful in the past. Later, as time passed, the world became worse and worse, and the talents produced became increasingly rare, so this method gradually lost its effect.
So much so that the leader of Tongtian Cult has not recruited new disciples for a long time.
This time, he just observed as usual and did not think there would be any changes. But when his eyes fell on Ao Bing, he couldn't help but pause.
This heel can no longer be said to be good, but amazing. Even among his disciples, only the eldest disciple Duobao can rival him.
“The seven-clawed blue dragon, plus the legacy of the ancestral dragon, is the best choice whether it is heel or luck. It is a person with great blessings.”
“It’s a pity that it was so early. Involved in the killings of immortals and gods, the future is unclear.”
Naturally, Ao Bing's heels could not be hidden from the eyes of Tongtian Cult Master. In his opinion, Ao Bing is really good everywhere. It's a pity that the unbreakable tribulation energy between his eyebrows ruined his good fortune.
Others have the good fortune of Ao Bing, and all disasters will go around him, and they will not be involved in the Gods Killing Tribulation at all. However, Ao Bing was first involved in the God-Conferring Killing Tribulation, and then he got the blessing.
So, no matter how good his luck is, there will always be a calamity, and he has to live through it. Only after you have passed it can you travel around the world. If you can't get through it, you will have to make a wedding dress for others if you are blessed.
“Hey, let’s take a look first and then talk!”
Muttering a pity to himself, the Tongtian leader looked away from Ao Bing.
Being involved in a killing calamity means that there is a high probability that you will die in the calamity. If it were anyone else, Master Tongtian would definitely not accept him as a disciple.
But Ao Bing’s heels were so good that he became interested in talents, so he decided to take another look.
If Ao Bing had a very good understanding in addition to following, then it would be nothing to just kill someone. He would accept this disciple.
At this moment, Ao Bing’s attention was completely attracted by the figure of the Tongtian Cult Leader, and he did not notice his gaze.
It is really too strong. Even if the leader of Tongtian Cult does nothing and just sits there, the momentum he exudes is still as if Dao Dao is coming in person.
Just one look at it makes people have endless insights, and they can't help but want to fall into enlightenment.
No wonder everyone wants to be a disciple of a saint. Not to mention anything else, just being able to see a saint every day is already a blessing that ordinary people cannot envy.
Withdrawing his gaze from everyone, Master Tongtian said slowly:
"Now that the three sects are about to be killed and the calamity is approaching, I, as a teacher, must also go into seclusion and cultivate until the calamity is over. That's why , this sermon is my last sermon before the end of the great tribulation, I hope you and others will listen to it."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was shocked and couldn't help but start talking in low voices. Previously they were wondering why this sermon would be advanced, but now they understood that it was the last time.
Then, they began to discuss that the three religions were about to kill each other. As members of the three religions, how should they deal with it in order to protect themselves.
“Quiet!”
Seeing the crowd getting more and more noisy, the fat Taoist sitting on the left side of the saint suddenly struck the Taoist bell next to him. Immediately, a clear bell sounded, and the entire hall suddenly became silent.
"Teacher is merciful, please teach us how to overcome the tribulation."
Everyone was no longer discussing, but worshiped the leader of Tongtian Cult at the same time, hoping that he would pass on the method to overcome the tribulation.
The killing calamity of the three religions, as the name suggests, is a killing calamity targeting the three religions. The three teachings are the human teaching, the explanatory teaching, and the intercepting teaching.
Saints are free from disasters and calamities. This killing calamity is definitely not aimed at them, it can only be aimed at the disciples of the three religions. The people present are the disciples of Jiejiao, the primary targets of Killing.
